I Missed You (Bucky x Reader)

~Chapter 50~

Your search for Strange continued as you and Tony snuck through the immense ship, until finally you found him. Standing on a platform, you look down and find Ebony Maw interrogating Strange, who is floating horizontally, face down, and is surrounded by dozens of glass needles, each about two feet long. You gulp as the needles start to contact Strange's face, causing an obviously painful whitish subcutaneous glow at each touch. Suddenly, the Cloak of Levitation taps Tony on the arm, making him raise his hand to it, ready to shoot, but he sees what it is and stands down. You turn around and see it too.

"Wow you're a seriously loyal piece of outerwear, aren't you?" Tony says.

"Yeah, uh, speaking of loyalty...." a young familiar voice says, prompting you to turn around again to find Peter dropping from his spider-web.

"What the-" Tony starts.

"I know what you're gonna say." Peter cuts him off.

"Pete, you're not supposed to be here." you say, frowning in worry.

"I was gonna go home-" Peter starts.

"I don't wanna hear it." Tony cuts him off, raising an eyebrow warningly.

"But it was such a long way down and I just thought about you on the way..." Peter continues. "...And I kinda stuck to the side of the ship. And this suit is ridiculously intuitive, by the way. So if anything, it's kinda your fault that I'm here." Peter rushes, making you raise your eyebrows and momentarily look away, fearing Tony's reaction.

"What did you just say?" Tony says, raising his finger at Peter warningly.

"I take that back. And now I'm here in space." Peter says, finally slowing down.

You walk in front of the teenager, crossing your arms over your chest. "Yeah, right where we don't want you to be. This isn't Coney Island. This isn't a field trip. It's a one-way ticket. You hear me? Don't pretend like you thought this through." you say. "You could not have possibly thought this through."

"No. I did think this through." Peter says, matching your seriousness before Tony walks next to you.

"Oh come on, you could not have possibly thought this through." Tony says.

"It's just .. you can't be a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man if there's no neighborhood." Peter says, waiting for the two of you to say something, but he just earns a confused look from you and Tony. "Okay, that didn't really make sense but you know what I'm trying to say."

You and Tony look at each other before looking back at Peter and Tony sighs. "Come on. We got a situation." he says before leading Peter over to a viewpoint on the torture below. Peter crouches to study the situation, the Cloak leaning over his shoulder. "See him down there? He's in trouble. What's your plan? Go."

"Um. Okay, okay... uh..." Peter says as he concentrates before standing back up. "Okay. Did you ever see this really old movie, Aliens?"

After using Peter's plan to save Strange, you also managed to get rid of Ebony Maw by throwing him into space before you quickly closed the opening of the ship by spraying nanites from your suit. You help Strange stand up before the Cape drapes itself over him.

"We've gotta turn this ship around." Strange says, letting go of you once he's able to stand on his own.

"Yeah." Tony scoffs. "Now he wants to run. Great plan."

"No, I want to protect the stone." the doctor says.

Without facing him, Tony walks towards the expansive front view-point, showing a hyper speed/warp effect. "And I want you to thank me now. Go ahead, I'm listening." he says irritably as you stand behind, next to Peter.
